Chapter 685: Chapter 188 Sumeru Sword_4
"Upon seeing the Energy Sword in Ah Dai’s hand, the three Sword Saints were astonished. Having reached their level, they naturally understood what such a large Energy Sword represented - it was power, absolute power.
Xi Wen couldn’t hide the joy in his heart. His white hair moved without wind as he murmured, "Good, good, Ah Dai, you’ve finally made it. This is the realm of the gods! You’ve broken through the realm of the Sword Saint, and have become the first God of Sword on the entire continent."
Ah Dai’s left hand slowly moved to his right, both hands gripping the gigantic Solid Energy Sword. Goshawk, standing before him, clearly felt as if the air around him was being devoured by the powerful Energy Sword, and he had no way to escape the attack range of the Sword. He could only grit his teeth, elevate his Fire Nightmare Aura to its limit, and hold his Red Dragon Sword upright, radiating heat. In front of Ah Dai’s divine-level power, he was somewhat cowardly.
Ah Dai said in a deep voice, "Senior Goshawk, please receive my first sword, the beginning form of the Tian Gang Sword Technique— Splitting Chop." Mentally merging with the gigantic Energy Sword in his hands, Ah Dai moved with his sword, striking at Goshawk in front of him as one with his sword. The Golden Sword emitted an unrivaled power, suppressing the trembling Fire Nightmare Aura on Goshawk’s Red Dragon Sword. Whoever it was, they could clearly tell that Goshawk definitely could not withstand this sword from Ah Dai. Goshawk’s eyes were wide, his beard and hair stood on end, and he held the Red Dragon Sword to meet it head-on.
Ah Dai’s heart was incredibly calm; the situation was completely within his control. At this moment, the face of the girl who died tragically flashed across his mind. A faint trace of killing intent seeped out from within him, the temperament of the Grim Reaper. Just as this supreme sword was about to devour Goshawk’s body and soul, four voices rang out simultaneously, "Show mercy." One of the sharp and anxious voices was particularly clear. Ah Dai was shocked. He knew that this shout came from the four skeletons, reminding him of the cold and sorrowful eyes of the Skull when he left. Ah Dai sighed quietly.
Boom-- a huge shockwave erupted suddenly from the center of the battle between Ah Dai and Goshawk. Due to the impact, including Yun Ying and Harry, they all involuntarily retreated. A figure flashed past. Ah Dai landed lightly ten meters behind Goshawk, the gigantic Energy Sword in his hand still emitting golden light and resting in front of his body. The light of the Red Dragon Sword held by Goshawk had already dimmed, hanging limp in his hand. His old body was slightly trembling, his originally bright eyes had become extremely muddy, as if he had aged decades all at once, and he was trembling slightly.
Xuan Yue, although her magic was outstanding, did not have a good understanding of martial arts. She anxiously asked Xi Wen next to her, "Uncle, is Ah Dai alright?"
Xi Wen stroked his beard and smiled, "When the gap in strength between the two is too large, the outcome is often determined in a short time. Goshawk has lost, completely lost."
"With a flash of red light, Goshawk’s Red Dragon Sword sunk back into his waist, and the scorching aura disappeared. He wobbled to turn around and addressed Ah Dai’s back, ""The matter with Tiro ends here. I admit defeat."" Having said that, he landed silently next to Harry and sat down on his knees without speaking. He understood in his heart that if Ah Dai hadn’t shown mercy just now, he would’ve been reduced to ash. After Ah Dai heard the call of the four skeletons, he completely retracted the golden light of his Energy Sword, changing from attack to defense. Even though he completely dissolved Goshawk’s Fire Nightmare Aura, he did not harm him at all."
Ah Dai slowly turned around, defeating the Northern Sword Saint with a single move gave him great satisfaction. Facing the three Sword Saints, he slightly bowed and said, "Thanks for letting me win."
Harry cancelled his Green Lotus Battle Aura defending his body, smiled and said, "Looks like I won’t get to use those few moves I’ve recently developed. Even Goshawk is not your opponent, I give up. After all, I’ve always been the last in every competition, losing one more time is nothing shameful. Ah Dai! You’ve really done well. To this day, I don’t understand how you trained; how could someone your age possess such powerful strength? Are all of us old guys useless?"
Suddenly seeing that neither Yun Ying nor Harry were intending to make a move, Ah Dai withdrew the large Solid Energy Sword and sighed, "I owe all of my achievements to my master. Without him, it would have been absolutely impossible for me to reach the highest realm of True Qi. Now, I have nothing to hide. The reason my master met his end was because he transferred all his power to me, using a method of power transfer. That huge amount of energy formed a second Golden Body inside my body, gradually being absorbed during my continuous cultivation. I just fully assimilated my master’s power today, finally reaching the level he expected."
Goshawk sat on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes wide. His eyes were filled with shock. He exchanged a glance with Harry and Yun Ying, and sighed, "The boss is really the boss. No matter when, he is always much farther ahead than us. He really has courage! Boy, you’re lucky, do you know that? The success rate of this power transfer method is less than thirty percent. Once it fails, not only does your master die, but you won’t escape either. No wonder, no wonder! I give in, I, Goshawk, give in. Di Si, wait for me in the heavens, when I get there, I must make you my master."
Yun Ying smiled and said, "This could be said to be the quickest contest among the Four Great Sword Saints ever. I think there’s no need for us to continue. The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang still holds the lead among the Four Great Sword Saints; only the name has changed from Di Si to Ah Dai. Ah Dai, you shouldn’t be overly modest. Indeed, the power passed on to you by Brother Di Si greatly influenced you, but without your own hard work and cultivation, you couldn’t have achieved what you have today. We are all getting old, and everything will be in the hands of you young people from now on."
Ah Dai stepped back a couple of steps, and fell to his knees in front of the three Sword Saints. Yun Ying and Harry were taken aback, while Goshawk frowned slightly and said, slightly annoyed, "Boy, are you trying to insult us?"
Harry stepped forward to help Ah Dai up, but he was blocked by his robust aura. "Ah Dai, what are you doing?"
Ah Dai lowered his head and said, "There is something I need to ask of the three elders; I hope the elders will grant me this request."
Yun Ying came over to Harry’s side and said, "First, stand up. You are the lead among the four of us. No matter what, you must be clear about your own identity, how can you kneel so casually?"
Ah Dai did not move and sincerely said, "I will stand up after I finish speaking. Elder Yun Ying, I’m not kneeling for myself, but for the people of the world. A huge change is about to take place on the continent, with the Church of the Dark Saint, formed by Dark Forces, trying to open a path to the Demon Realm. If they succeed, humans on the continent will fall into dire straits. For our survival and our racial continuity, I beg you to prioritize the overall situation and help the Holy Church to completely destroy these dark forces."
Yun Ying gave a slight nod, "I have heard a few things about this from Harry, but it was not clear. First, get up and tell us in detail."
Seeing Yun Ying’s loosening attitude, and knowing that Harry naturally supports him, Ah Dai stood up and explained everything about the Church of the Dark Saint and the Death Mountain Range in detail.
After hearing Ah Dai’s narration, Yun Ying furrowed his brows and said, "I haven’t asked about the affairs of the continent for decades, I hadn’t expected the Dark Forces to have developed to such an extent. We’re all humans, and it’s only right to do our best to maintain our living space. My child, I promise you. I’ve already lived for more than a hundred years, I’ll accompany you guys to the Death Mountain Range and see how powerful these Undead Creatures are."
Ah Dai was overjoyed, he said respectfully, "Thank you, Elder Yun Ying. Uncle Harry, what about you?"
Harry smiled and said, "Isn’t that obvious? Haven’t I already agreed to your request? Oh, I forgot to tell you some good news. Xiao Huan, who you brought to me back then, and my eldest son are doing quite well! Maybe they’ll get married after we’ve completely destroyed the Dark Forces."
Ah Dai shivered all over, whenever Xiao Huan was mentioned, he inevitably thought of the girl. He nodded and said, "This is the best outcome for her, thank you, Uncle Harry."
